Recommended Posts

A pure goa-trance compilation on CD & vinyl with Astral Projection, MFG, Xenomorph, Shakta, Oforia,... in 2020! Yes, that is still possible! Suntrip worked for years with these goa-trance legends and they made 1 more old school goa-trance track especially for us! As a result, we are proud to present "Gamma Draconis", an 8 track compilation which will please all lovers of 90s goa/psychedelic-trance! The tracks range from classic melodic trance to darker acidic stuff! Each their own!

The tracklist looks like this: 
1. Roy Sasson - Mentalogue
2. Xenomorph - Dying Sun
3. Battle of the Future Buddhas - Shinechaser
4. Shakta - Expedition to Earth
5. Astral Projection - Dominion
6. MFG - Global Light (Retro Version)
7. Ra - Eikon 
8. Oforia - Emotionally Charged Memories

It will be released as CD and 2*LP at the end of september or first week of october! More info about this soon on our social media channels (fb & instagram mainly).

The Ra track is a much extended more modern remix/rework from the Icon track on Sun Conkreti, which was largely forgotton... 

Not forgotten at all, but the mastering was horrid. I'm happy it gets its well deserved second shot! :)

Listening to the samples and the Xenomorph track it reminds me some of Filterias early stuff.

Comparing Xenomorph to Filteria sounds unfair and rather offensive, to my ears at least..

as I haven't really heard anything by him except his at the time groundbreaking track Obscure Spectre

that's why, probably...

Calm down, mate.. No bad feelings against you, nor any intention to question your experience or your impression..

I just expressed my personal opinion, which is a result of active involvement in the scene since the mid 90ies..

comparing it to another goa artist

To me (and not just me, I can assure you..) Filteria and other musicians of the so called Neo-Goa style, just aren't Goa artists.. In general, NEO-GOA IS NOT GOA..

The real "Goa" thing, concerning parties, music composed, inspiration, came to its end around early 00s, 2003, let's say.. Since then, things changed radically.. Almost everything became over-commercialized, mainstream, targeting to the masses and therefore loosing its underground character.. I could write pages over pages about that, but I think that people who really experienced it at the right times and places, with the right music, at the right state of mind can totally understand what I mean..

To me, Neo-Goa is just a bad replica of the past.. Simple as that..

Once again, these are my personal thoughts.. No intention to blame, or turn against anybody.. Musical taste is matter of personal choice, but facts are facts...

If anything this new Xenomorph track got me really curious about his other goa tracks. Certainly if he has made similar stuff recently that would be interesting to explore for me.

Try https://xenomorph-official.bandcamp.com

Support him if you like his music and if his more recent works ring a bell to you, you can gradually go deeper to his older cinematic - horror psychedelic stuff.. B)

The funny thing is... Filteria and Xenomorph are friends and talk a LOT about "music making" and synths :) They never made music together so far tho

As for modern goa not being goa? Thats, obviously, not serious and one of those opinions that somehow crushes all modern innovative psychedelic artists within this genre. A music genre is not defined by a time period but about a style. I think its very clear for example Triquetra is pure goa. Why wouldn't it be? Because it is made in 2020? Its made exactly like the music in the 90s.. 100% with analog synths and the style is the same as well :)

I've actually never heard anyone say for example that new Techno isn't Techno and whatever.

come on. you cannot seriously think that the boring, sleep-inducing music people call techno nowadays is in the same genre as real techno back in the day. ;)

in all seriousness, most of what is now promoted as techno would have been classified as minimal house in the time around 2000. however there are exceptions to be found in the techno thread in other electronica.

@GeorgeMoonstoneD

your opinion is very valuable and interesting. but here is how youre wrong.

filteria is on the same label as this xenomorph track you just said was offensive to have been compared to. which is ironic- theyre on the same label - filteria uses almost 100% the same gear that was used in the 90s - how is that not goa? how is that not just a natural progression of music - turned into neo goa - a beautiful high production standard genre. What is not goa about that. 

There are dozens more aritsts in the new goa style that are absolutely incredible at the music they do - and you diss them all by saying its not even goa. 

many of those artists (filteria, mindsphere) uses the same gear as used back in "the day" where you are somehow stuck.

 

You said you were offended by the comparison between Filteria and Xenomorph.

well Im offended by that statement, you just offended filteria, fans, and suntrip as a label. You basically said 99% of their catalogue is "not goa". That is pretty offensive if you ask me.

Pre-orders available now! And the vinyl sales are going surprisingly fast. If you buy 1 cd/vinyl, Suntrip & bandcamp are equal prices, but if you buy more items, shipping becomes cheaper on the Suntrip shop :)

Is it possible to get bandcamp codes if we buy from Suntrip shop?

I often use the bandcamp streaming feature and would love to have these there as well.

if you are buying several items, we can do that :) If you buy only Gamma Draconis, you can buy it directly on bandcamp :)

Sorry to hijack the thread, but any news up? I'm having trouble finding any.

The site is up again, thats the news? :D 

As for Gamma Draconis 2... You have to know this cd was in the making for 3.5 years, that long it took us to find 8 tracks that were "good enough" in our opinion. At least 20 of classic guys didnt make it. I will be honest, it did not make us popular, but well... if some feel the magic again, we will go for a Gamma Draconis part 2 :)

Dear goa-freaks! Its a very special day at Suntrip Records! Our new pure goa-trance compilation on CD & vinyl with Astral Projection, MFG, Xenomorph, Shakta, Oforia,... is now released on Suntrip's bandcamp and the Suntrip shop! (links below)

1. Roy Sasson - Mentalogue
2. Xenomporph - Dying Sun
3. Battle Of The Future Buddhas - Shinechaser
4. Shakta - Expedition To Earth
5. Astral Projection - Dominion
6. MFG - Global Light (Retro Version)
7. RA - Eikon
8. Oforia - Emotionally Charged Memories

After years of working with these goa-trance legends they made 1 more old school goa-trance track especially for us! As a result, we are proud to present "Gamma Draconis", an 8 track compilation with music that ranges from classic melodic trance to darker acidic stuff!

As you could see, this is released as a cd and a vinyl. The vinyl is only available in our own shops (so bandcamp and Suntrip). But beware, the vinyl will only be shipped in 2 weeks (delays at the factory). But in the mean time you can already listen to it

Thanks for the eternal support!!

If you buy our music directly from our shops, keep in mind: 1CD or vinyl is equally expensive from bandcamp and the Suntrip shop, BUT if you buy several items, the Suntrip shop is cheaper! (and if you buy the vinyl, it will be shipped in 1.5-2 weeks, the factory had delays... Unfortunately)
